Here is a "suggestion." Your actual analysis of this data is not critically important since this is not really your data or your company. You should, however, try to analyze the data to look for specific patterns, differences, and similarities among and within the states and sales categories. What is of paramount importance for this assignment is the use of the graph(s) to support your analysis conclusions. Your analysis narrative should specifically reference the graph(s). Number the graph(s) in your report, then reference them by number. Be explicit and specific. Make this analysis "stand alone" so that your boss can read it and understand the specific point(s) you wish to make without you having to stand over his/her shoulder and explain it. The more specifically you tie the graphs to the narrative the better you will do. You learned all of this in your business communications class. Yes, you did. I checked. Quit sandbagging me!
